Yesterday I went to the city. It was a triumph for me getting there. I craved to go to the John Hancock Tower. I went up to the John Hancock Tower . I was dazzled and stupified at how divine the tower was. As I kept going up it looked like the cars were vanishing. My trip to the John Hancock building was very fulfilling and I felt dejected when I had to go home.

Once upon a time there was a girl. Her name stupefied everybody who heard it. Her name was Bawatchahanae.

She had a wish, she wanted to be on the schools softball team. That night she was sitting by her window staring at the night sky. Suddenly she saw a dazzling shooting star. Then she went to bed. The next day, at school she saw a poster for tryouts for the school softball team. after school she went to the tryouts. She made it to the team. Her dream was fulfilled. The next day was there first game. They lost. The team felt dejected. The next game they won. The team felt triumph. The game was divine. After the game she saw a big cake. She craved it. five seconds later the cake vanished.

Splash!! I dove into the water, a large, smooth fish in the pool. I kicked my legs like a dolphin. This was wonderful! I popped up on top of the surface. I was swimming butterfly in a race, amazing my family by how well I could swim it. I was so far ahead that everyone else seemed to have vanished from the pool. The feeling of swimming in a pool full of cool, blue water and feeling very strong was simply divine! I craved a good time and a victory. When I touched the wall, I was stupefied by my time. I had definitely fulfilled my wish for a strong race, and I was very proud. I wondered if the other swimmers felt dejected, but I hoped they didn't because they worked just as hard as I did. That was a time I triumphed in swimming because I worked hard at every single practice and swam a successful race. I was dazzled by the lights reflected by the shimmering water and thought about how proud I was.

Hi I'm Emily and I'm going to tell you about me. My life is the most dazzling life you have ever heard of. When I'm done with you you sure won't be dejected you will be stupefied because my life is so dazzling. When I was a kid my dream was to play soccer. When I was able to play soccer my mom fulfilled my wish by letting me play. It was a great triumph to be able to play. Playing soccer was such a divine. I craved to keep playing. I don't know how it happened but I vanished into the world of soccer.

This story (using my 8 vocabulary words) is about a story we read, called Not So Fast. It's about a Jester how tried to dazzle the king. Here is my story:

I was completely dejected when the Jester tried to dazzle me. It was a complete disaster! I've threw the Jester into a jail cell, but now, I crave a good laugh! I am creating a "Jester looking" party where I will look for a new Jester. I want it to be a triumph! Please fulfill my wish! Sometimes, I wish the Jester would just vanish. The Jester was stupefied when I told him to go into the jail cell.
